The protagonist of fast time travel Halo Crusher

Chapter 15

"They are all the sons of ministers, what's the difference between a concubine and a concubine?" King Xiangyang knew that the emperor was a concubine, thinking that the emperor should love to hear such words,

Lin Mu nodded: "I just approve of King Xiangyang's way of doing this. He doesn't ask his concubines, but only those who are capable. It seems that the prince's choice of heir should also be based on ability."

Lin Mu's words have reached this point, Xiang Xiangyang King had no choice but to follow her and said: "It's natural."

"Since that's the case, I'm in charge. You feudal lords, cancel the inheritance of the eldest son. No matter whether you are a concubine or a concubine, those who are capable will succeed. Is this good?" Lin Mu seemed to be asking the opinions of the King of Yunnan and the King of Xiangyang.

In fact, she knew that these two vassals would not refuse. She had laid the groundwork for so long, just for the issue of the concubines, the two princes must have thought that it was because they were concubines and wanted to dilute the difference between concubines and concubines. .

They thought that this had little to do with their feudal lord, so they would definitely agree to it very readily.After all, I have given them such grace, as long as they have more sons, they will give them more land.They will not refute their own face.

Sure enough, as Lin Mu expected, the two vassals did not object: "Everything is up to His Majesty."

"Okay!" Lin Mu was about to give an order.

At this time, a courtier stood up: "Your Majesty, you can't do it. This eldest son inheritance system ensures the smooth transition of the regime, stabilizes people's hearts, and stabilizes the regime. It is a practical and effective inheritance system."

"The rules of the ancestors cannot be changed. Your Majesty, the eldest son inheritance system has lasted for thousands of years, so it cannot be changed easily."

Lin Mu knew that this matter would not succeed so easily: "Ancestral rules? Aren't the ancestral rules just left for our descendants to change?"

"Your Majesty, you are showing great disrespect to our ancestors." A courtier looked at Lin Mu heartbroken.

"Dear dear ones, have you ever thought that the eldest son is often not the best candidate, and it is easy to cause the eldest son to fail to keep his foundation, be killed by his brothers, or the result of the country's destruction. And it is easy to cause cliques to seek personal gain. Prince cliques are often the most important thing in history. A serious illness." Lin Mu gave his reasons.

The courtier went on to say: "Your Majesty, the eldest son inheritance system can determine the candidate for the country's heir as soon as possible, which is conducive to the stability of the country, reduces the desire of other heirs to compete for the heir, and reduces the country's civil strife."

Lin Mu said deliberately and authoritarianly: "Everything in this world has pros and cons. Needless to say, I have made up my mind and decreed that the inheritance system of eldest son should be abolished and replaced by the one who can do it."

"No, Your Majesty! The rules of the ancestors must not be broken!" The ministers knelt down one by one to fill the court.

In fact, Lin Mu's goal is not the primogeniture system at all, her goal has been to cut down the feudal clan from the very beginning.

She looked at the courtiers in this place, all of whom looked like remonstrance, and asked the King of Xiangyang and the King of Yunnan helplessly: "My lords, tell me, do you think this matter is safe?"

Lin Mu posed the question to the two vassal kings who did not want to wade into troubled waters.

"Your Majesty, I think so." The King of Xiangyang and the King of Yunnan exchanged glances, "Your words are very reasonable, but the considerations of all the ministers must be listened to."

These two people, as long as they don't burn themselves, they will never have any definite opinions, they are all in harmony.

"You two are right." Lin Mu surprisingly didn't insist on her own ideas, which was very different from her arbitrary behavior these days, "That's what I said, and the two feudal lords will do what they say, and they don't have any opinions of their own. Is it over?"

"Exactly. The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. The minister and the other two listen to your majesty." King Xiangyang looked obedient.

It's just that I don't want to go into the muddy water.The ministers scoffed at the two men.

Lin Mu pretended to think in distress for a while, and sighed: "If not, I will promulgate a decree, which is called the 'Tianen Order'. In the past, only the eldest son had the right to inherit from the vassal states. The eldest son inheritance system of ancestral generations. , ensuring the strength and stability of the family. I also admit that it cannot be changed easily."

Speaking of this, Lin Mu glanced at the dark crowd of ministers kneeling below: "Get up, I recognize the advantages of the eldest son inheritance system."

After everyone stood up again, Lin Mu continued, "However, I hope that the sons of all the princes and kings have the right to inherit the land and property. That is to say, if you have ten sons, then divide the fief into ten shares. Each son Take part of it. By analogy, the fiefs of your sons will also be inherited in this way. When the children of these sons grow up, they can still have fiefs."

As soon as this remark came out, the king of Yunnan and the king of Xiangyang stared wide-eyed. What did the emperor say? According to his method, as the number of heirs increases, the fiefdom will become less and less, and in the end it will be no different from ordinary people up.Not to mention a confrontation with the royal family.

Those ministers who were desperate for their monarch gradually realized that Lin Mu was so arbitrary and disobedient before, and everything was for today.

"Your Majesty, this..." King Xiangyang wanted to say something, but he remembered that he had said before that he could let the emperor go, and that the eldest son's succession could be changed, so what he said now was a slap in the face.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid... after all... it is also against the rules of the ancestors." The King of Yunnan thought about his words, hoping to turn the tide against the wind.

"The king of Yunnan is afraid of others' objections, right? Don't worry." Lin Mu looked at the crowd below and asked, "My loves, do you have any opinions?"

"The emperor is wise, and the ministers have no objections." Those ministers were uniform when they knelt down, and they were also uniform when they agreed to this matter.

Lin Mu was very satisfied.

She looked at the two vassals innocently: "Your lords, I remember you told me that the relationship between your sons is very good, brothers and brothers are respectful, and I ordered you to learn the way of benevolence and filial piety from your sons. You will object to distributing this land to your younger brothers and brothers."

"This..." The king of Xiangyang was stunned. It turned out that the so-called favors before were just traps, and they were all prepared for today.

"Or, are you worried about not having enough land? Don't dare to have sons? Don't worry, didn't you have a decree? If you have more sons, I will reward you with fiefdoms. This is the same. Your land will not decrease." Lin Mu Really blocked every road.

The king of Xiangyang and the king of Yunnan scolded the emperor secretly in their hearts, and they said it nicely, but in fact, the one-third of an acre of land she rewarded was just a show, so pitiful and useless.

"Your Majesty, this does not conform to the rules of the ancestors." King Xiangyang was really desperate.

"Suddenly changing the succession system, is Aiqing afraid that it will be difficult to handle the internal affairs of the fief? After all, it has been followed for so many years, and it is really inconvenient to change it once." Lin Mu actually thoughtfully sought excuses for King Xiangyang.

　Today is New Year's Eve, I hope everyone can be happy.
